2012 – A hundred-year drought in the Ozarks finally allows conditions to improve enough to give the OCDA a chance to explore Roubidoux spring after a ten year hiatus. Visibility reaches up to 30ffw and flow is very low. The team makes project dives to set up and explore an addition 2500 feet of cave passage. Total explored distance is now 8300′, of which 7200′ of the tunnel is surveyed. The habitat is well-used, and 10 hour underwater times are commonplace.

2014 – With improved conditions and some real long weekends the system has now been pushed out to 11,528′ at a relatively modest depth of 145′.
